Kelly Ripa was every bit the proud wife as she attended a performance of Fallen Angels on Broadway, watching her husband, Mark Consuelos, make his stage debut. During the April 8 episode of LIVE!, the ABC star shared her review of the show.
“I had a big night last night, everyone. I went to the theater. The Roundabout Theatre Company, the Todd Haimes Theatre, specifically,” she began. “I saw my beloved husband and co-host, Mark Consuelos, in Fallen Angels last night.”
Mark even signed his wife’s Playbill on the night after refusing to the evening prior. “You did not lie to me when you said, ‘You’re gonna love it.’ It’s my cup of tea. It’s just laughter from the moment you are taken back in time,” said Kelly. “The set is so glamorous. The costuming is perfect. Kelli O’Hara and Rose Byrne are so unbearably funny. They are geniuses. Their talent is so extraordinary.”
Kelly then gushed over her husband’s performance and his co-star, Tracee Chimo. “Oh, my gosh! The housekeeper, she is a revelation. And I laughed for 90 minutes, and then, enters the thrilling – they talk about your character for the entirety [of the show.]” added Kelly.
“You show up, and I forget how unbelievably funny you are. You are amazing. If you didn’t have two shows today, you may have gotten lucky.”
Mark revealed that he had warned his castmates ahead of Kelly attending the show. “I was like, ‘Hey, Scott. Do you want to know who’s coming tonight?’ And he goes, ‘No. No I don’t.’ I said, ‘Even if it’s Kelly?’ And he went, ‘You can’t… you just did it! You just told me!'” said Mark.

“Two upper-class wives, their husbands away for the day, share a few toasts to their pre-marital dalliances – with the same man, who just may be en route from France to visit. Old rivalries and past scandals bubble to the surface in this intoxicating romp from one of theatre’s comedy masters.”
